I was able to qualify for about $95k in 0% business credit cards (for 12 months), I then liquidated the cash and used a portion of that to obtain the hard money loan that covered the balance of the purchase cost.

Soon I'll be purchasing my first ever investment property (Virginia) (MFH) and I honestly feel like I made a mistake.

Purchase price: $232,500 Cash invested: $45,000 Newly renovated SFR in Shore Acres, St.

It's been 2.5 years since I purchased my first property and now that everything in my personal life has slowed down I'm back on the horse and ready to find my next investment.

I have used HELOCs for probably most of the purchases of the properties I own. 

For experienced investors who have done 5+ similar rehab projects, I can lend up to 100% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab on light 1-4 unit rehabs. 

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Primary house hack.

It's been a while since I used it, so may have changed after TransUnion purchased it.

I have 2 SFH, both purchased using house hacking.

The purchase price of this property was only $170K.
